Managing artists is all about building a brand. If you are looking for assistance, please read on...

The topic for Rob’s PhD is personal brands. He is busy developing a model that can be used to build a personal brand, and this is the knowledge he will be sharing with you here.

The concept of a personal brand was first coined as a term by Tom Peters back in 1997, but the idea has been around since the beginning of time. Caesar and Cleopatra were very famous brands in their time! Their legacy lives on even today.

With the rise of elements like LinkedIn, personal branding is an essential part of positioning yourself in the current zeitgeist – for a prospective job, as an expert in your field, or as a public figure.

Rob can help you with any of these elements.

Rob took the knowledge of his marketing background and is himself busy building an impressive personal brand with a huge marketing footprint. You will never find him anywhere without a personally branded item of clothing, no matter where he goes. If you do, he will pay you $10.

You too, can start to build your personal brand, whether you are a public speaker, a singer or musician, a minister, healer or other religious leader, the CEO of a company, a chef, or any other type of leader who wishes to increase their public profile or simply build a solid brand from the ground up.

Remember, building a brand is about more than just a logo – though a logo is often a great place to start!
